Most gadgets these days are designed for enjoyment & pleasure of only 1 person.
MP3 players, PSP, PSP, laptops, handphones. One can argue that handphones bring enjoyment to 2 people - to the caller, and person who receives the call. Enjoyment, only when the phonecalls are non-work related I suppose (at least this is so for me).
I think it's quite sad & ironic that we grow to entertain ourselves individually when communication is almost the essence of life. I mean, how many times have you seen a lunch partner sms to
someone else while her real lunch partner is sitting right opposite her?
It's an individual world after all. Oh well, when we pass on someday, we'll go on our own anyway, with no company.

I took Nana out yesterday on my rare once a month off on Mondays. We caught Zathura. Nana enjoyed it,she was glued to the screen. I enjoyed some of the moments, but caught myself yawning a few times. It's a kiddy show after all.
Then we went on a little shopping spree - nana, not me. I only bought 2 pairs of earstuds. My shopping spree hasn't begun...yet.
Tonight, insya-Allah I'll catch a movie with AH. It has been months since we caught a movie together.
And now it's raining, and I haven't ironed my clothes, and I have to go to work. Time to run.
